The 2021–22 season is Chelsea's 108th competitive season, 33rd consecutive season in the top flight of English football, 30th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 116th year in existence as a football club.[1] The season covers the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.
Season summary[]
On 11 August 2021, Chelsea started off the season by beating Villarreal to win the 2021 UEFA Super Cup. Hakim Ziyech opened the scoring before Gerard Moreno equalized in the second half; after extra time the score remained 1-1. In the final minute of the match, Thomas Tuchel made the decision to replace goalkeeper Édouard Mendy with Kepa Arrizabalaga. Chelsea went on to win 6-5 on penalties, with Arrizabalaga making the decisive save against Raúl Albiol.[2] Following the match, Thomas Tuchel stated: "We were well-prepared. We had a statistic that Kepa is the best in terms of saving penalties. The analysts showed me the data and then we spoke with the players [explaining] that this can happen in knockout games."[3] It was the second time that Chelsea had won the trophy, the first win being in 1998, and the third time that the club was involved in a penalty shoot-out in the competition.[4]
The following day, Chelsea announced that Romelu Lukaku had re-signed for the club, seven years after leaving, for a reported club record fee of £97.5 million.[5][6] Although initial offers were turned down by Inter Milan, Chelsea's third offer for Lukaku was accepted. "I only realised that Chelsea was serious at the third offer," Lukaku stated. "It went to €110m, and I knew, this is truly serious." He continued, "If they ask me, why would I say no? Everyone knows what Chelsea means to me."[7]
Chelsea began the Premier League season with two consecutive wins in London derbies, first at home against Crystal Palace and then at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal.[8][9] In the former, Premier League debutant Trevoh Chalobah scored the final goal in a 3-0 win with a low right-footed shot from well outside the penalty area.[8] In the latter, new signing Romelu Lukaku scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win on his second debut for the club.[9]
On 28 August, Chelsea travelled to Anfield to take on Liverpool in a match that was billed as an early test for two title contenders.[10] Kai Havertz opened the scoring off a corner kick with a looping near-post header that spiraled over goalkeeper Alisson.[11] In the first half stoppage time, Reece James was sent off after referee Anthony Taylor consulted the VAR and adjudged that James had used his arm to prevent a goal. Mohammed Salah scored the ensuing penalty despite furious protests from Chelsea players. In the second half, Chelsea defended deeply and compactly and the match finished 1-1.[12]
On 31 August, transfer deadline day, Chelsea signed Saúl from Atlético Madrid on a season-long loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.[13] The future fee is reported to be €40 million.[14] Throughout the transfer window, Chelsea were linked with a move for Sevilla centre-back Jules Koundé, although it never materialized.[15][16] The transfer window also saw several notable departures, including Olivier Giroud, Tammy Abraham, and Kurt Zouma.[17][18][19] Furthermore, Chelsea sold several promising youth academy products, including Marc Guéhi, Tino Livramento, and Ike Ugbo.[20][21][22]
